Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to DC-motor support adds native MJCF/USD reconstruction and runtime behavior coverage across CPU and Warp. The remaining low risk is that supported DC-motor and SO3 type parsing could begin emitting unexpected warnings without this test detecting it. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

2118-2183: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winFix: DC-motor early return silently drops unrelated runtime property updates.
The kernel returns immediately when
newton_actuator_ctrl_type[world_newton_idx] == CTRL_TYPE_DCMOTOR, before writing any of the eight output arrays. This correctly protectsactuator_gain,actuator_bias, andactuator_dynprm, which hold DC-motor placeholder values in Newton's custom attributes.
actuator_gear,actuator_forcerange,actuator_ctrlrange,actuator_actrange, andactuator_cranklengthare independent of the DC-motor shortcut. They hold real authored values that are applied once at initial construction. Skip only the gain/bias/dyn assignment for DC-motor rows, and keep applying the remaining five fields unconditionally, so runtime updates to gear, force range, control range, activation range, or crank length on a DC-motor actuator are not silently dropped.🔧 Proposed fix to limit the DC-motor guard to gain/bias/dyn only

📢 Thoughts on this report? Let us know! |
Move the user-facing DC motor entry out of CHANGELOG.md and into the issue-linked fragment required by the current release workflow.
Record the MuJoCo 3.11 USER, DC-motor, and SO3 enum correction as a separate Towncrier fixed entry.
Register high-level DC motor parameter attributes only when an MJCF source contains a dcmotor element. This avoids replicating and allocating ten unused arrays for ordinary MuJoCo actuators.

Bring the pull request up to date with the latest Newton changes. Preserve MuJoCo 3.12 PID enum slots while adding DC motor support.
Preserve independently authored actuator properties when refreshing compiled DC motor rows and synchronize updates on both backends. Adapt control metadata to MuJoCo 3.12, bridge its representation for MuJoCo Warp, validate replicated worlds, and expand regression coverage.

13028-13039: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the "without warnings" claim.
The docstring states this test parses DC-motor and SO3 types "without warnings." The test body does not verify this.
builder.add_mjcfcalls run outside any warning capture, so a regression that reintroduces aRuntimeWarningfor"dcmotor"or"so3"gain/bias/dyn types would not fail this test.Wrap the two
add_mjcfcalls inwarnings.catch_warnings(record=True)and assert the captured list contains noRuntimeWarning, matching the docstring's claim.Proposed test hardening

Add
SolverMuJoCohandling for MuJoCo's stateful<dcmotor>actuator shortcut. MJCF imports preserve the high-level DC-motor parameters and reconstruct the actuator through MuJoCo's nativeMjSpecshortcut, while compiledMjcActuatorUSD rows preserve their DC-motor dynamics, gain, bias, activation, and parameter data.Closes #3950.
